By Jared Diamond, 1999,

A book about Civilizations: why did Europe conquer the world and not others civs? The author discuss different scientific explainations starting from prehistory up to early Antiquity.

Very interesting and exhaustive book about Europe dominance. It makes sense all in all. I loved the principle of Anna Karenine applied on animal domestications: a lack of factor makes the animal unsuitable for domestication, like for zebras, elephants, tigers... which are often tamed but not "domesticated". I googled many topics, learned a lot about world history, history of japan, of the new world, prehistory about biology also.

For all people intersted in history ;)
